Murs also announced that his debut American single will be 'Heart Skips A Beat', which has been scheduled for release this summer through Columbia.

"I can confirm I am joining @onedirection on their US tour from 29th May as special guest," he confirmed on Twitter. "Columbia US releasing HSAB in the summer!!"

However, it has not yet been announced whether Murs will return to present The Xtra Factor later this year, now that he will be travelling across the US.

His spokesperson previously stated: "Olly's album is now starting to break big internationally and this means we have to juggle all his commitments between promoting his own album and also doing the show."
